《The Secret of the Secret Boss》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Mag-iisang taon na kaming magkakilala ni RM at ramdam ko na lumalalim na ang samahan namin. Kaya last week, inaya niya akong magdinner with his family ay hindi na ako tumanggi.
*flashback*
Habang naglalunch kami sa high class na canteen ng ELITE.
"i'm inviting you sa family dinner next week, inaasahan ka nila mama at papa", singit ni RM habang kumakain kami. Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya kaya tumingin ako sakanya, nakatingin din pala siya sa akin.
"sana makapunta ka, it's a simple dinner, pawelcome lang sa kuya ko" dagdag pa niya. Punong puno ng pagsusumamo ang mga mata niya. Makakahindi paba ako?.
"okay", simpleng sagot ko sabay balik sa kinakain ko. Alam kong napangiti ko siya sa simpleng sagot ko kaya hindi na siya nangulit pa.
*end of flashback*
Reigan's POV
I'm Reigan M. Montenegro, 28, presidente ng MGC.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimulang magkwento. Oh sige, doon nalang tayo magsimula sa parte kung saan ko siya unang nakita. Saan nga ba yun? Haha.
Sa elevator ng EGC. May nagmamadaling pumasok sa elevator, mabuti nalang at maagap kong napindot ang open button. Napako agad ang tingin ko sakanya pero hindi niya yun napansin dahil napako din ang tingin niya sa akin. May ganun ba?
When i found out na secretary siya ng EGC, nagkainteres na ako sa partnership with them.
Naging lusot ko ang pustahan namin ng kaibigan kong si Jayvee, yes, i won 5 million pero gaya ng napag usapan mapupunta sakanya ang kalahati.
*flashback*
Nasa Ahai kami at kumakain.
"eto nga pala yung number ng bank account ko, paki lagay nalang dyan" sabi ni Val, sabay abot ng sticky note sa akin.
"aanhin mo ba yung pera?" kuryosong tanong ko.
"nagpapatayo kasi ako ng orphanage para sa mga batang pakalat kalat sa lansangan", tugon niya sa tanong ko.

Simula ng araw na yun, naging attached na ako sakanya. Gustong gusto kong pinanonood lahat ng galaw niya, she's a natural, weird and mysterious. Mataas ang expectation ko sakanya pero hindi niya ako binibigo. Napagpasyahan kong ligawan siya dahil pakiramdam ko, siya yung babaeng hinahanap ko.
Time flies so fast. Hindi niya padin ako sinasagot pero naglakas loob na akong imbitahan siya sa bahay para sa dinner. Naka ilang reject din ang natanggap ko bago ko siya napapayag.
At exactly 6:00 pm, sinundo ko siya sa condo niya. Nakadalawang doorbell na ako pero wala padin. Kaya kinatok ko na.
"hey, it's me, Rei"
Bumukas ang pinto at nakita ko ang isang.. Isang.. Babaeng.. Naka pantalon at plain white fitted v-neck shirt. Naka eyeglasses, as usual. Kinulot niya ang dulong parte ng buhok niya kaya nagmukha siyang sophisticated. Well, hindi ko naman sinabing napaka pormal ng pupuntahan naming dinner. Haha, she's really weird. Really.
"sorry, hindi ko alam kung ano ang susuutin", pagpapaumanhin niya.
Nakayuko siya at parang nahihiya. Hinawakan ko ang baba niya at inangat ito para makita ko ng malapitan ang mukha niya. She has this beautiful blue eyes at parang laging nangungusap, nag lipstick din naman siya. Nakakabakla ang ganitong ganda, buti nalang pala napa sa akin siya. Hahaha,... Hindi naman sa inaangkin ko na siya pero papunta na kami doon.
Kinuha ko ang kamay niya at hinalikan ang likod nito. Sinabi ko din ang totoo, "you look beautiful" dahilan para pumula ang pisngi niya.
"salamat, tara na?". Pag-aya niya.
Bumaba na kami sa lobby, habang hinihintay ang valet na kumuha ng sasakyan ko ay halatang kinakabahan siya. Kaya hinawakan ko nalang ang kamay niya, don't tell me, hindi niya pa ito nagagawa kahit kailan.
Pagdating ng sasakyan ay agad ko siyang pinagbuksan, walang umiimik sa amin sa durasyon ng byahe papunta sa bahay, masyado ata siyang kinakabahan.

"hey, it's fine, my parents won't bite" pagbibiro ko sakanya pagkapasok ng sasakyan ko sa gate ng bahay namin.
Val's POV
Kinakabahan talaga ako, sa sobrang kaba ko, nakalimutan kong bumili ng bagong damit kaya eto naka white shirt at pants lang ako. Nakakahiya pero kailangan kong lunukin ito. Ayokong mag expect na magugustuhan ako ng magulang ni RM. I know Mr. Montenegro, he's a nice man.
Pumasok kami sa bahay nila Reigan, bumungad kaagad ang mga magulang niya sa aming dalawa, nasa sala sila at halatang hinihintay ang pagdating namin, nakangiti sila pareho sa aming bagong dating, nakasukbit ang kamay ng mama ni RM sa braso ng papa niya. How sweet.
"magandang gabi po" bati ko sa kanila. Wala manlang akong naihanda kahit dessert man lamang.
"magandang gabi hija" bati ng mama niya sabay beso sa akin.
"ma, pa, i would like you to meet Val Sarmiento" wika ni RM
"hello po"
"hello din hija, you are really charming, no doubt, my son likes to hang out at Elite alot", pagbibiro ng papa ni RM
"call me tita Carmen and this is your tito Arthur", wika ng mama niya
"sige po tito at tita", nahihiyang sagot ko
"nandito na pala kayo Rei", wika ng lalaking pababa sa hagdan. Inangat ko ang tingin ko para masilayan ang taong nagsalita.
Napako ang tingin ko sa taong pababa ng hagdan, mumuntik na akong mabuwal sa pagkakatayo ko, buti nalang at napigilan ko ang sarili ko. Umakto akong walang nararamdamang kahit na ano, nakababa na ang lalaki sa hagdan, tumayo siya sa harapan naming lahat at nagpakilala
"Good evening everyone", bati niya sa aming lahat. Nakangiti siyang bumati ngunit umasim ang mukha niya nang napatingin siya sa akin.
***********

malapit na po tayo sa katotohanan. ano kaya ang kahihinatnan ng pag-iibigan ni Reigan at Val?
